Leahs Great Grilled Cheese Sandwiches Recipe

This different twist on an old favorite lunch happened by accident - but I was really wowed how great the pesto, caramelized grilled onions and added goat cheese tasted and what it did to a time-honored favorite meal.

How to make it

Take two slices and open them up so that when placed back together, their ridges match - to help prevent cheese from oozing out when cooking.

On one side of sliced bread, spread pesto all over slice. On other slice, spread mayonnaise and mustard. Ground and sprinkle fresh ground cracked pepper onto slices if you wish and a sprinkle of kosher or sea salt.

Add grilled onions on one side, then sprinkle crumbled goat cheese and put thin slices on Monterey cheese on top, close up sandwich and place into warm skillet.

Add butter to skillet and turn on heat to medium low, allowing butter to melt.

Add sandwich to skillet to cook. Grilling sandwich slowly on low heat will allow enough time for cheese to melt without burning your sandwich bread. Flip sandwich and cook the other side.

Serve this great grilled cheese sandwich up with your favorite soup or salad for a complete meal that will knock your socks off!

My boyfriend selected cheddar cheese and grilled eggplant for his sandwich as the photos show.
